[KLF] Why the "Illuminati"?

Something I've been ruminating over for a long time ... How do people on this list feel about Drummond and Cauty appropriating some of the "Illuminati" imagery in their work, particularly at the very beginning and the end of their recording careers? Isn't it the unfortunate case that these sort of images and reference points can sometimes be open to misinterpretation (or be used by extremely nasty people)? When the KLF were on TOTP in 1991, even Anthea Turner mentioned that they looked "like The Ku Klux Klan". It was merely a crass short-hand description of their druidic outfits, of course. But I wondered what the views of other people on the list are? John Not Scots, just Scott-ish
